Analysis of anther development by identifying downstream genes controlled by MS35/MYB26

ABSTRACT: MALE STERILITY 35 (MS35/ MYB26) is a R2R3-type MYB transcription factor (Steiner-Large et al., 2003). MS35 is suggested to be a key regulator in the process of lignified secondary thickening in the anther endothecium which provides mechanical force for anther dehiscence (Dawson et al., 1999). The ms35 mutant bears non-dehiscent anthers and thus exhibits a male sterile phenotype. This microarray experiment aims to identify genes controlled by MS35 and thus establish the precise role MS35 plays during anther development. We have demonstrated that MS35 is expressed in the anther during pollen mitotic divisions. Comparisons of gene expression will be carried out between anthers from the Ler.gl (wild-type control) and ms35.gl (mutant) to identify genes with altered expression due to the ms35 mu
